Bihu Gift Ideas for Employees and Clients

Assam celebrates three Bihus: Bhogali (Magh) Bihu in mid-January, the harvest feast; Rongali (Bohag) Bihu in mid-April, the Assamese new year; and the quieter Kongali (Kati) Bihu in October. For workplaces, Rongali and Bhogali are the big gifting moments.

For leadership and clients

• Bihu Troupe on the Pepa — a celebratory centrepiece.
• Meji & Pepa Sculpture — perfect for Bhogali Bihu.
• An executive diary in ruby red — Bihu's colour — with a gold clasp.

For teams

• Engraved steel bottles with names.
• Leather keychains with initials.
• Notebooks paired with a gamosa.

A tip on presentation

Wrap or present gifts alongside a gamosa — it instantly connects the gift to the festival and shows respect for the tradition.

Bihu messages for cards

A short Assamese greeting adds warmth. Common phrases include “Rongali Bihur antorik xubhessa” (heartfelt Rongali Bihu greetings) and “Bhogali Bihur xubhessa”. Add one line of thanks for the team's work and the card does the rest.

Gifting visitors and national clients

Clients outside Assam may not know the festival. Include a two-line note explaining Bihu — the harvest, the new year, the music of the pepa — and the gift becomes a conversation starter.

Office celebration ideas

• Distribute gifts during a short Bihu programme with music.
• Offer gamosas to the team and guests.
• Display a Bihu sculpture at reception through the festive week.

Timing

For Rongali Bihu, order by the third week of March; for Bhogali Bihu, by mid-December — the Christmas and New Year rush overlaps.
